Transformation of Amphiphilic Antiviral Drugs into New Dimensional Nanovesicles Structures

© 2022 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society..

Improved techniques were applied to formulate drugs into dimensional nanostructures, doped "nanovesicles". These nanovesicles are solely composed of self-assembled amphiphilic antiviral agents used for the treatment of viral infections caused by flaviviruses, such as Zika virus. Studies were done to evaluate the effectiveness of the syntheses, formation, and performance under different experimental conditions, and behavior of the drug nanovesicles in vitro and in vivo. These studies demonstrated that assembling the hydrophobic antiviral drug molecules into nanodrugs is a successful technique for the delivery of the therapeutic agents, otherwise difficult to be supplied. Our studies confirmed that this nanodrug preserved and, in many cases, enhanced the embedded cellular activity of the parental free drug molecules, both in vitro and in vivo. This proposed formulation is highly important as it addresses the issue of insolubility and low bioavailabiity of a wide range of highly potent pharmaceutical drugs-not limited to a specific class of antiviral drugs-that are of high demand for the treatment of medical conditions and emerging pathogens.
